It's a rite of spring at our farm to have visiits from swans. The fields that surround our farmstead usually have ponds on them and the swans stop for a few days or even weeks...

THE DULLUM FILE On Camera
Kudos to the Grand Forks Herald's Ann Bailey for her piece on being camera shy in a media world. The last couple of sentences of it read as follows. "My experiences during the past y...

ANN BAILEY: Daughter’s dog is a good buddy 
There’s no doubt that life is fraught with hard times. Health problems, deaths of loved ones and job loss cast dark clouds. But the clouds do have silver linings and for our family, one of them is my daughter, Ellen’s dog, Rosebud.

ANN BAILEY: Crust anxiety makes rhubarb pie all the more special
For a few weeks in May and June we eat sauces, bars and desserts made from the five rhubarb plants in our garden. However, one thing that’s not on the menu is pie. Though I bake a lot and am not afraid to tackle most any recipe, I am not confident when it comes to my pie making ability.

FACES: UND student is a one-man trumpet band
Whether fingering the plaintive strains of taps or jazzing it up like Louis Armstrong, playing the trumpet is a blast for James Kerzman. Kerzman, a UND music performance major from Thompson, began playing trumpet in the fifth grade when he lived with his family in Surrey, N.D.

ANN BAILEY: Exercise is good for the body and soul
For the past couple of years, part of my daily routine has been to take one of our dogs for a walk. Being fit always has been important to me. I pay attention to my health because I want to be around a long time and will do everything I can to make that happen.

ANN BAILEY: Embracing the cold weather
One of the common sayings of people who live in the Northern Plains is that 40 below keeps the riffraff out. I’m not sure about that, but I do know it keeps some other pests at bay.

ANN BAILEY: Carrying on the family Memorial Day tradition
When I was growing up, my family’s Memorial Day weekend tradition was to visit cemeteries where my parents’ relatives are buried. In 1996, my dad died, and on Memorial Day 1997, my mom and Brian and I visited the cemetery to put flowers on his grave, her parents’ grave and Richard’s grave, along with my great-grandparents.

ANN BAILEY: Spring is alive
In spring, the countryside is alive with sights, smells and sounds. After winter, a quieter, less colorful season on the farm, I feel like my senses, too, are coming to life again.

ANN BAILEY: Mother’s Day brings back many memories
Today, Mother’s Day, seems like a good time to reflect on my mom.
Though she died in September, there isn’t a day that goes by that I am not reminded of her, not once but many times, or that someone who knew her doesn’t mention to me how much they miss her.

ANN BAILEY: On the farm, ‘doctoring’ part of the job
One of my primary chores growing up was to check the cattle during the summer months when they were on pasture. It was a job I enjoyed because it involved horseback riding. However, it wasn’t a joy ride because the reason my sister and I checked the cows, calves and bulls was to make sure they were healthy. If we spotted one that looked like it wasn’t feeling well, we herded it up to the corral, where my dad and brother could take a look at it and treat it themselves or call the veterinarian if it was a more serious problem.

FACES: Dakota Science Center executive director was naturally drawn to science
Laura Munski was attracted to science at a young age by nature.
“I was outside all of the time,” said Munski. Whether bird or wildlife watching or simply running around her yard in Havre de Grace, Md., she spent a lot of time outdoors getting hands-on experience with environmental science. Now, as executive director of the Dakota Science Center in Grand Forks, Munski works to instill in middle school students an interest in science.

ANN BAILEY: Springing ahead, but not too much
A month ago, I thought I might break the record for earliest lawn mowing. The green lawn was showing signs of bolting and I figured it would only be a matter of time before I was back on the seat of the mower. But although there have been a few warm days this month, temperatures generally have been more seasonable and our grass has stayed pretty short.

ANN BAILEY: New life is springing up on the farm
One of my favorite times of the year growing up on the farm is spring. Not only are there signs of new life all around me in the form of greened-up grass, budding trees and blooming flowers, there also are young animals on and around the farm to remind me of the renewal.

FACES: Myron Barnes retires after rewarding career with Boy Scouts
Myron Barnes didn’t expect to dedicate his life to the Boy Scouts when he applied for a summer job to be an aquatics director at a scout camp near Hibbing, Minn. But the three-month position opened the door to a lifelong career, and this month, Barnes retired after 36 years with the Boy Scouts.

ANN BAILEY: Are we raising a generation of nincompoops?
I love my children dearly, but my goal is to have them leave home and take their place in the world, using their talents to make it a better place. I will give them love and emotional support, but plan to treat them like the adults. Judging by much of the news stories, society could use a lot more of those.

ANN BAILEY: Knowledge is power when battling leukemia
The unexpected trip to Fargo was a reminder to me that we can’t take anything for granted when it comes to Ellen’s treatments and that her health can change in the blink of an eye. It also was another reminder that we can’t assume that because past treatments have caused no problem, it won’t cause one another time.
